Updated: Nov 29, 2020


With all the time we have been spending at home, many of us have taken up DIY projects to better our homes. With new guidelines, we know how important it is to try and have a “normal”. This year, we have spent a lot of time outside with friends and family, and we know how important it is to have a beautiful outdoor space. In this article you can find out top product recommendations for your garden!


Plants for every season


One of our favorite landscape garden essentials are plants that last year-round. These plants are called perennials. Some of our favorites for the south include the following


1. Cone Flower

These particular flowers are similar to sunflowers and grow during the spring and fall months. Cone Flowers are on our top 4 because they are very easy to maintain and come in many colors.


2. Daisy

Daisies are one of our favorite flowers. They are perfect for adding brightness and color to your garden.


3. Grasses

Grasses are one of our favorite plants to keep in a garden, especially if you live near the ocean. The more popular southern grasses are Muhly Grass which have beautiful pink tone. We also recommend Festuca grass. The “beyond blue” grass is extremely popular and adds a beautiful pop of color to your garden.


4. Boxwood Shrubs

These shrubs are your typical green bush. They can be shaped into circles or squares depending on your taste. They add a beautiful green element to your garden.


Decorative Rock

It’s very important to decorate your garden. In the past, many of us decorated our garden with simple dirt’s and mulches. However, decorative rock is becoming more and more popular. Carolina Stone Supply has numerous bulk stone products for you to choose from. Below we have highlighted our favorites for the south east region.


This particular stone can be most compared to Tennessee river rock. This rock has your classic look. With shades of tans and browns, this stone is an eye catcher for any property.


This stone is popular for more coastal homes. It can be compared to the stones and pebbles you find along the ocean.
